Nicely done. Voodoo doughnuts is 22 s.w. 3rd; all N/S all have to do is turn right and head down the block. An early guess? They have to eat a signature creation, like the bacon maple bar, to get an info clue. (once you get your mind used to the idea, it might taste OK)

These two photos, Ken & Tina are standing in front of the Benson Hotel, at 309 SW Broadway. That's about two blocks south and two blocks west from the gas station. From the gas station, it's two more blocks east to Voodo.

hi all - great site! i just watched tonight's episode and recognized portland from the brief one sec trailer of Nick & Starr outside the hotels...anyway I decided to learn more and my google search brought me here. What awesome sleuthing!

I read through a lot of posts and am still learning how the producers plan out the itineraries but thought I might be able to help answer Qs about portland. BTW I live very near Pittock and work a few blocks from where the downtown scenes were filmed...unfortunately when TAR was in town I hadn't found RFF yet!

Newberg -- is more than an hour from PDX, and very unpredictable with traffic. The distance doesn't fit for teams getting into taxis at PDX. Unless TAR filmed a race day in Portland had a pit stop than did a short detour before racing to the finish line, I think Newberg is an unlikely location to send the teams.

Yeah, the final mat shot was probably taken before any of the final three reached it. It may be just minutes before

Enrico, awesome to have you with us! They are facing an azimuth of roughly 248 degrees where 270 degrees is due west. North is straight up in the GE image. The Sun sets with azimuth 298 degrees at 8:35 pm.
